WHAT

Pogba is one of the best in the world with regards to long range shots, easily better than anyone at Liverpool

He's not comparing anyone.

Yes he is.
Counted players who can score from long range shots, counted three for Liverpool and then crossed through Pogba to imply he doesn't make that list, saying Utd have none.

That's a comparison, and he's wrong.

I'm pretty sure Coutinho has more outside the box goals than Pogba in the past few seasons.

Coutinho has 13 since 2012/13, Pogba 16.

So the FA cup top scorer right now is Son. Let that sink in... Son!

by Firenze Mon Mar 13, 2017 12:14 am

He's a good player, just quite inconsistent

but when he's on his game he's class

by Red Alert Mon Mar 13, 2017 4:24 am

Liverpool, Arsenal, United and Spurs themselves all anxiously wait for Kane's medical scans...

Vital 3 points for us. Really tired of the players mentality's when it comes to these games though. It's like they don't even want to be on the pitch unless they're playing to prove themselves against a "top" side.

Coutinho has 13 since 2012/13, Pogba 16.

By itself those numbers mean nothing.

Pogba games played since 2012/13 - 217
Coutinho games played since 2012/13 - 189

20 of Coutinho's games are also at Inter in which he was getting garbage 5-10 minutes.

21 – Since Jurgen Klopp’s first game in charge, Liverpool have scored more PL goals from outside the box than any other team (21). Arrow.

Seems you are right. Though it really doesn't feel like we score from outside the box that often. I was actually going to complain in our section about how little we score from long range shots Laughing

I just answered you're claim to point out that Pogba does have more long range goals. But yes, Pogba also has taken more shots.

So I'm going to retract the 'easily' from my statement with regards to Coutinho. Both Pogba and Coutinho are long range goal specialists.

Why is that so strange? Because he's Asian?

Glory plz confirm

I confirm that your reply conform with my comprehension. Thumbs up

@Hans this is what I meant you pleb. Pogba converts like 1% of what he actually attempts. The consistency with which the likes of Henderson and Coutinho scores, Pogba can only dream that (at least as of now). And I am talking about his exploits in a United shirt. Not his record in Italy.

Also @Nish surprised to find Chelsea on top of that pile. May its because I havent watch them much this season. Bottom half teams among that list is irrelevant as you tend to expect them trying their luck from distance when they cant break down a defense otherwise.

by Hapless_Hans Mon Mar 13, 2017 10:01 am

First you pay 100m £ for Pogba and then you start beating him up over everything :facepalm:

Post SAF Utd in a nutshell for you

by Glory Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:14 am

Exactly. We paid 100m. We expect more from a 100m player. Anyway my intention wasnt at all to compare and attack pogba in the process. Well, I compared. But it wasnt to 'beat' Pog like you say. Thanks for making a big fuss of that silly pointless post that I posted (mainly at that time out of sheer frustration seeing Pool score and cos I was sleepy and tired af) and making me sound like a spoilt brat you pos. Mad

by Firenze Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:18 am

Loserpool are long shot hit and hope merchants. Know nothing about the beautiful crossing and 6 yard tap in game.

by Hapless_Hans Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:50 am

Tough game coming up tonight vs Chelski and of course we are at a disadvantage again:
Ibra suspended, Rooney, Rashford, Martial all out injured.

Has anyone been as unlucky as us this season?

Hope Mikhitaryan can show again that he is ready to compete at the highest level and that he knows what it means to be a Manchester United player.

IMO though we should put Fellaini up front.

by Firenze Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:52 am

More chance of Origi finishing topscorer than us winning tonight. Game is a write-off already. RIP quadruple dreams.

inb4 Courtois goes superhuman and we lose 1-0

at this point I just hope we lose by less than 3 goals

by RealGunner Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:54 am

Heard Fellaini is going to start upfront lol

by Firenze Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:57 am

no chance

Mkhi will play striker

by Unique Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:58 am

the reason Liverpool score more goals from outside the box is we don't play with a out and out striker. all our goals come from number 10 or wide players coming inside.

by Unique Mon Mar 13, 2017 12:01 pm

Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are out of Monday's FA Cup visit to Chelsea through injury as Manchester United face a striker crisis ahead of the quarter-final tie.

Might as well hand the tie to Chelsea beforehand to save further fatigue and tiredness.

Anyway go with this

I always thought if you get a ban in a lge game it only carries over to the lge cup not the fa cup.
